So lovely, those wrapped sugar cubes, when you paint them! I always enjoy discovering one besides one of your painted cups. Since I don't use sugar in my tea or coffee, I take them home and collect them. Sometimes I am generous, and offer them to my kids. They don't appreciate the gesture! They collect themselves. :-) In Vienna, most often you do get either cubes in tiny glass oder metal bowls, or table sugar in glass containers. It's in a gesture to the environment, I suppose. Demel's offers sugar in beautiful silver servers, they buy them in France. ;-)

Carol, everything French is fabulous!! I wish we could get the cubes in all those shapes and sizes here. For special occasions I have been known to hand apply sugar roses etc., but really nothing beats the brown sugar cubes in France!

sigh...hold the torte for me when I am no longer on the "you~know~what"!!Lidy
